There are so many tacky light houses in Chesterfield, it’s hard to choose!

But we picked five personal favorites worth checking out. If you’re looking for most tacky lights per density, head to the Walton Park neighborhood for a quick tacky light circuit.

12618 Dawnridge Court aka 'Christmas Court'

The whole cul-de-sac on Dawnridge Court in the Walton Park subdivision of Midlothian lights up for Tacky Lights. They’ve been lighting up their houses for over 10 years. Each house is different — some have dancing lights, others have white lights and multi-colored lights, plus blow-ups, figures and much more. You’ll see it by the icicle lights strung across the streets. 12618 Dawnridge Court is one of the most decorated homes on the block.
